VISITING THE DUNVEGAN CASTLE.

Dunvegan Castle & Gardens is at the heart of the 42000 acre MacLeod Estate on the Isle of Skye. The aim is to conserve and protect the natural habitat. Dunvegan Castle (Caisteal Dhùn Bheagain) is located 1 mile (1.6 km) to the north of Dunvegan on the Isle of Skye, off the west coast of Scotland. It is the seat of the MacLeod of MacLeod, chief of the Clan MacLeod. Probably a fortified site from the earliest times, the castle was first built in the 13th century and developed piecemeal over the centuries. In the 19th century the whole castle was remodelled in a mock-medieval style. The castle is built on an elevated rock overlooking an inlet on the eastern shore of Loch Dunvegan, a sea loch. #familytrip #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip
